Re: [iwn driver] SIOCS80211 error on 4965AGN

Rohit,

a few things -- i assume that you are running current? -- have you set the
machine up following /usr/src/UPDATING?

if not -- this entry might be of some service --

20080420:
The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss
operation on devices that are capable. The underlying device
is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are
cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files.
For example, change:
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
to
wlans_ath0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of
/etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland
and kernel wouldn't hurt either.

As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta
modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references
to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed.

hope this helps,

/jT

Followed the instructions to create wlan0 but kept getting the same
errors.

[iwn driver] SIOCS80211 error on 4965AGN






Hi,

I configured an amd64 kernel with iwn option and set the license
variable in loader.conf. My make.conf specifies cputype of nocona

Upon trying to bring up iwn0 I get a SIOCS80211 error. My machine is a
Lenovo t61p.
Do I need to play around with ioctls ? I'm somewhat new to debugging
the kernel :)

-Rohit
